To store fresh corn in the fridge, you'll want to keep it cool and dry. Remove any husks or silk, and place the corn in a breathable bag or container, like a paper bag or a ventilated plastic container. This will help to maintain humidity and prevent the corn from drying out.
Now, here's a pro tip: if you want to keep your corn fresh for an extended period, you can try freezing it! Simply blanch the corn in boiling water for a few minutes, then chill it in an ice bath before freezing it in airtight containers or freezer bags. This way, you can enjoy your fresh corn all year round, even when it's out of season.
But, let's get back to the fridge - where most of us store our fresh corn. To keep it fresh for up to a week, make sure to store it in the crisper drawer, which is designed to maintain high humidity and keep veggies fresh. You can also add a damp paper towel to the bag or container to help maintain moisture levels.
